How to Use Marketing Surveys

Marketing surveys are a great way to ask for feedback on new products, services, and features. Survey customers as you pilot new offerings—and course-correct quickly if you’re off target. Beta-test your mobile app, preview your latest ad campaign, or assess the impact of a new bundled offer, and translate those insights into profitable strategies.

Here are some of the most popular uses for SurveyMonkey marketing surveys.

Market research. What’s the appetite for a new product or service you’re designing? Test the market, modify your target customer segments, and create a launch plan based on the feedback you receive. Ask: “If our new product or service were available today, how likely would you be to recommend it?”

New product development. Use frequent surveying as part of agile product development in your business, iterating designs based on user feedback. Have a new mobile app you think will be a hit? Test it with your target audience. Ask: “What do you like most about our new product?” or “What changes would most improve our new product?” Modify proposed product features and roadmaps based on user preferences.

User experience design. Survey target audiences to determine individuals’ behavior and use of smartphones and applications, buying patterns or use patterns. Use survey feedback to design engaging user experiences, then position, place, and promote products to target markets through these new channels. As part of your marketing plan, determine how good or bad the user experience is on your Web sites.

Customer satisfaction and loyalty. Happy customers lead to good business. Use client, customer, consumer, and business-to-business questionnaires to regularly assess satisfaction. Listen for potential issues customers experience—poll for opinions about your product, service, customer support, and online interactions. Make it a practice to ask some version of the question: “What could we do to keep you coming back for more?”

Tips for Achieving Higher Marketing Survey Response Rates

Here are some ways you can encourage your respondents to complete your surveys. For more guidance, read our guides on how to conduct and create surveys.

Introduce your objective. Provide context with a brief sentence. Tell survey takers why you’re asking these questions and how their feedback will help, e.g. “Your suggestions will help us to better understand how we can deliver the services you want most.”

Keep it short and focused. Make sure each question brings you closer to your goal. Respect survey takers’ time, and word questions clearly.

Pre-test your survey. Pre-test your survey with a few members of your intended audience. You might uncover inconsistencies or unexpected question interpretations.

Keep rating scale questions consistent. If you’re using Likert rating scales, use the same points system throughout your survey. If 1 means “extremely satisfied” and 5 means “extremely dissatisfied,” maintain this scale for all questions.
